i' invention relates to rests for sad-ironsv of the ty e adapted for household usean'd for use y rtailors, garment workers iand Figure 2 looking in the direction indicated tudinal section through a stand carrying my improved rest and an iron supporte other operators who constantly use` ironsin their work. 1 f1 More particularly stated my invention relates to a rest,- to be detachably fitted upon a stand for the type commonly used for supr porting the sad iron. The stand with this restinounted upon it having advantages overA the stand whenused without the rest.

Reference-is made-'to the accom anying i. drawing forming-'a part ofthis specification.'

and lin which like reference characters indicate like. parts' throughout the several Figure 1 is a substantially central longi# thereupon.

Figure-2 is a fragmentary plan of the I same certain parts being broken away.

Figure 3 'is a section on the line 3-3 of by the arrows. A v

Figure 4 is an inverted plan or bottom view of my improved rest, shown without other parts.

lA stand 5 of the kind commonly used for supporting ysad irons, is provided with legsvl v6,- v7 and e et 8, 9.- The stand 5 isy further provided with a marginal rib 10 and with a number of other ribs 11, the ribs 11. being parallel with each other and having their "3. The asbestos board 12 is further is rested upon the stand, as may be understood from Figure 3.

A piece of netting 15 is carried by the board 12, and is provided with corru ations 16 which are always in. registry with the channels 13and which, are brought into reg-l istry with the ribs 11 whenever the board rests upon the stan-d. The piece of netting` 13 is further provided-With portions 17, bent inwwnformiey with the shoulders 14, and

visfurther provided withportions 18 which are bent-up over the top of the board, and serve to hold the netting in position upon the board. The netting Ais to protect the asbestos board, and to ,prevent it from becomingshredded or chipped; and also to prevent the undue localization o f heat upon the board and partscontiguous thereto.

My purpose in providing the ribs 11, cor-' rugations 16 and channels 13 isto prevent the asbestos board `from being driven sidewise,.under the intermittent and somewhat haphazard pounding action of the iron, and

particularly if the marginal shoulder o f the board becomes misshapen from wear.

The asbestos ,board 12 carries a pair of hooks 1 9, each integral with ,a shaftp20, dy which extends through a hole in the board.

The shaft 20 is integral with the hooks'` 19, and so arranged that these hooks canbe. swung or turned relatively to the board.l Another hook 21, carried by a shaft 22 and integral therewith, is mounted upon the board the grooves 13, and is tucked under the middle portion of the shaft 20 according to Fig-v ure 4, so as to rest upon the shaft 20 when the apparatusis in the position indicated in Figure 1. The hook 21 as thus mounted 12, the hook 21 and shaft 22 being made of wire. The shaft 22 extends through one of is free to turn or swing relatively to the board, and this mounting for the hook is found in practice to be satisfactory for the purpose here contemplated.

A'number of spiral compression rings .23 are carried by the netting 15, and) thus constitute supports for the board-12. The

'board 12, carrying the netting 15, hooks 19 and 21 and sprin supports' 23, collectively constitute aj comp ete article shown'in Figure 4, and this article as a whole I designate as a rest for supportin a sad iron. In order to mount my improv rest upon the .stand 5 I simply place it in position as indicated in Figure 3, so as to bring the shoulders 14v i substantially into registry with the marginal rib 10. This done, I swing the hooks 19 and 21 into the positions indicated for them in Figures 1, 2 and 3, and thus the rest is clamped securely upon the stand.

With the parts thus in ositioii, the board 412 and parts carried there y rest on the supports 23, so that neither the board 12 or any part carried thereby need rest directly upon or even touch any part of the stand 5.

'from it, t -:the board.

.that when the sa By pressing'the vboard 12 ddwnward, however, the sprng.support's28 are compressed slightly so thatthe corrugations 16 ofthe netting are lowered into engagement with the upper 'edges of the "ribs 11. This cushions the board 12, because, the corru ations 16 of thenetting have like the spring supports 23 a little resiliency. Y

. A sad iron is rshown at 24 and is provided in the usual manner with handle members 25 which in. Figure 1 are shown as broken awa veneverthe said iron is placed upon my improved rest as indicated in Figure 1 the wei ht of the. iron depresses the board,

slig tly, so that the. iron is supported with a'slight cushioning. Because ofthis fact,

4the sensationexperienced by the operator by placing the iron upon the rest and releasant,

moving it therefrom is rather' or Jar owing to the absence of any vshoc due to the movement of the iron.

` .The board 12 of iireproof material can easily be kept clean so that when the said iron is re eatedly rested upon and removedv e iron does not pick up dirt from A greatLv advanta e of my improved rest is d. iron is quickly placed upon it there isno Aringing soun Ordinaril when a sad iron is placed upon the Stan there is a harsh metallic ring, due to the impact of the iron'u'poii the stand. This f might-seem to be a trivial matter, but Workers who hear this ringin sound frommorning till night and day a er day for months and years'become `very tired of it, and it' gradually becomes more and more disagreeableto them. Moreover, in avlar e establishment where several dozenwor ers are employed, the constant ringing sound is not only disagreeable to the workers, but injuriously affects their hearingi 'This is prevented by my improved rest.

'I My improyed .conserves the heat. of the said liro`nf`because the board 12 of asbestos vor other'suitable iireproof material does not allow the heat of the iron to be conducted'.away'and unduly Wasted. Thus my device promotes economy, in avoiding undue waste of heat.v

My deviceis'well adapted for use as an comprising 'a stand Iprovided with -ribs spaced apart, a board of reproof materialV vprovided with channels spaced to register with said ribs, a netting mounted upon `said board and v'provided with corriigations extending into said channels for registering with said ribs, andv means for'is'uppoi'tine'A said board adjacent said stand and in spaced relationthereto.

A device of the character `.described i comprising a stand provided with ribs spaced apart and further provided with a marginal rib, a board of fireproof material provided lwith channels spaced a 'art and substantially in registry with said tioned ribs, said bOard be with'a marginal shoulderl to register with sa-id marginal rib, a. piece of netting carried by the lower face ofsaid board, and s rin supports located between said -boardp an said stand for normally supporting saiboard out of engagement with 4said stand. ai
